Time of Day Patterns of Sedentary Activity in 12th Grade Girls

  • Presented on May 29, 2013

In recent years, the risks associated with sedentary behavior (i.e. obesity, Type II diabetes) have become more recognized. Knowledge of the time-of-day when individuals are most sedentary may be beneficial when designing program interventions to promote and increase physical activity. Purpose To examine time-of-day patterns of sedentary behavior in ...


Energy Intake, Non-exercise Physical Activity And Successful Weight Loss: The Midwest Exercise Trial-2 (met- 2)

  • Presented on May 29, 2013

Changes in energy intake (EI) or non-exercise physical activity (NEPA) may affect the weight loss response to aerobic exercise training. Purpose To evaluate differences in EI and NEPA between responders (RS; weight loss ≥ 5%) and non-responders (NR; weight loss < 5%) performing 10 months of supervised aerobic exercise training. Methods Seventy-four overweight/obese (...


Increased Physical Activity by Accelerometry in Preschool Daycare Centers Following Implementation of the NA PSA CC Program

  • Presented on May 29, 2013

Purpose To determine the effect of implementing the Nutrition and Physical Activity Self Assessment for Child Care (NAPSACC) program on objectively measured physical activity during the school day in twenty-six licensed daycare centers throughout Louisiana randomized to either treatment (intervention; N=13) or control (no intervention; N = 13) conditions. Subjects: Pre-school children, 3...



Physical Activity Patterns among Children with Intellectual Disability: Very Few Meet Recommendations

  • Presented on May 30, 2013

Adults without intellectual disability (WID) are more active than persons with intellectual disability (ID). Very little is known about physical activity (PA) patterns of ID children, however. Purpose To investigate PA patterns of Icelandic primary school children with mild-to-severe ID. Methods Anthropometric measurements were obtained among 71 ID children (47 boys) and 70 ...


Influence Of Aerobic Exercise On Non-exercise Physical Activity: Midwest Exercise Trial-2 (MET-2)

  • Presented on May 30, 2013

Introduction Compensatory changes in non-exercise physical activity (NEPA) in response to an aerobic exercise training program may impact weight loss. Purpose To examine changes in NEPA in response to 2 levels of aerobic exercise training. Methods Ninety-two overweight/obese (BMI 25-39.9) sedentary young adults (18-30 yrs.) completed (i.e. ≥ 90% scheduled exercise ...


A Comparison of Young Children’s Physical Activity Levels in Physical Education, Recess and Exergaming

  • Presented on May 30, 2013

Purpose Recess and other school-based physical activity (PA) programs are important avenues for school children to participate in PA beyond physical education at school (NASPE, 2006). However, the quantification of the contributions of these programs, as compared with physical education, remains largely unexplored. This study was designed to compare young children’...

The Relationship Between Sleep Deprivation And The Energy Balance Pathways Of Diet And Physical Activity

  • Presented on May 30, 2013

Purpose To examine the energy balance pathways of diet and physical activity under conditions of acute sleep deprivation in normal-weight and obese women. Methods In counter-balanced fashion, 22 normal-weight (30.9±9.5 yrs, 22.0±1.6 kg/m2) and 18 obese (29.7±10.7 yrs, 36.4±5.3 kg/m2) women, with a consistent sleep-wake cycle, completed two separate free-living sleep conditions (Condition 1: one ...


Association of Depressive Symptoms, Sedentary Behavior, And Dietary Intake

  • Presented on May 30, 2013

Depression is consistently associated with overweight and obesity. Studies have shown that physical activity can prevent and treat depression. Some evidence also suggests nutritional interventions may reduce depression risk, symptoms and severity. However, less is known about whether depressive symptoms are associated with sedentary behavior and poor dietary intake. Purpose ...
